Uneven Bluing - Splotchy

How do I fix this - I've been told to use semi-chrome?

It isn't broken. Don't fix it.

you're just lucky if it's blue and not a bunch of other colors. mine are purple, yellow, brown (and blue in some spots). It's to be expected; just part of the package. If you take out your AIs that might help though.

I've used polishing compound on my pipes to smooth out the blue. This appears to help and make it more uniform.

My new thing:

Don't take lunch - just ride the bike then come back to the office...

I feel refreshed.

Simi-chrome won't touch it. Blue Job is about the only thing that will.
